Asha Sheshadri: Whiplash (Recital)
The first full-length LP from sound artist Asha Sheshadri.
As to how the artist describes these recordings:
“Each track contains sound from video work, excerpts from writers I admire, ethnographic methods, recovered and recycled voice/text memos, photographs from personal and public archives, and research-driven fictions. These sources expand and collapse into each other, only to reveal the eponymous 'whiplash.' To me, the feeling of 'whiplash' is the collision of: a refracted ambivalence towards what was once real, the endless cycle of reckoning with wherever 'home' has taken place, the fraught process of anchoring one's self in the wake of slow-release trauma, and how (if even possible) to translate all of this into artwork."
Whiplash combines elements of sound poetry, diary-like narrations, and delicate incidental music.
Limited edition of 200
180-gram black vinyl
Includes 12-page printed booklet
